- 得到极左翼团体支持的基罗斯，有望在2027年1月前组建拥有43名议员的进步派党团
2026年7月1日 美国东部时间11:25 / 福克斯新闻网
在民主党社会主义者梅拉特·基罗斯击败丹佛市任职已久的建制派众议员戴安娜·德盖特赢得初选后，政治分析师汤姆·德尔贝卡罗就这场正在全美范围内积极针对温和派民主党人的进步派叛乱扩张发表了评论。
据福克斯新闻网梳理，梅拉特·基罗斯已成为今年选举周期内第28名获得极左翼团体背书并赢得民主党初选的候选人。
这位29岁的民主党社会主义者如今与格雷厄姆·普拉特纳——缅因州饱受丑闻困扰的民主党参议院候选人——以及三位得到佐赫兰· Mamdani背书的众议院候选人——布拉德·兰德、克莱尔·巴尔德斯和达里亚利扎·阿维拉·谢瓦利埃——同属一派。
基罗斯参选科罗拉多州第一国会选区，得到了美国民主社会主义者（DSA）、工作家庭党（WFP）和正义民主党人的支持。

尽管今年赢得民主党初选的25名极左翼众议院候选人并非都能确保在11月的大选中获胜，但包括基罗斯在内的多位候选人所在的选区都是民主党稳固票仓，共和党挑战者几乎没有胜算。
如果福克斯新闻网追踪的所有极左翼众议院候选人都能获胜，他们将加入现有的18位志同道合的同僚，其中包括华盛顿州民主党众议员普拉米拉·贾亚帕尔、明尼苏达州民主党众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔以及密歇根州民主党众议员拉希达·特莱布。
极左翼势力的最佳情况是，到2027年1月，他们在众议院能拥有一个43人的党团。

目前民主党仅拥有10名蓝狗民主党议员，左翼势力的全面横扫将大幅改变民主党内部的权力平衡，而民主党有望在明年重夺众议院多数席位。

蓝狗议员团是众议院民主党议员组成的联盟，他们自称在财政上负责任，专注于两党合作，并支持强大的国防力量。
加上周二的胜利，基罗斯也成为今年第六名击败在任议员的叛乱派候选人。
卡维尔警告民主党：反以色列“大嗓门”可能让政党输掉选举
据美联社报道，基罗斯以近10个百分点的优势击败了已在国会任职15届的众议员戴安娜·德盖特。德盖特于1997年1月宣誓就职众议院议员，比基罗斯出生早四个月。
德盖特支持废除移民海关执法局（ICE）并实施全民医保，这两项都是其对手和左翼人士的核心议程。

基罗斯和德盖特在国内政策议程上基本一致，但在以色列问题上存在分歧。
德盖特是以色列这个犹太国家的坚定支持者，还倡导两国方案。基罗斯则持更激进的立场，指责以色列在加沙地带对巴勒斯坦人实施种族灭绝。
基罗斯支持全面暂停美国向以色列出售武器，批评德盖特支持继续向以色列提供军事援助，包括为“铁穹”等防御系统提供资金。
基罗斯的其他外交政策观点也招致了大量批评，包括她认为美国应为2001年9月11日的恐怖袭击承担部分罪责。

9新闻记者凯尔·克拉克在6月22日的采访中询问基罗斯是否认为9/11袭击是美国干预的“必然结果”。

基罗斯表示：“从某种意义上说，这是必然的，因为我们破坏了中东地区的稳定，这让人们认为另一场暴力行动是唯一的回应。正如我之前所说，我们的责任首先是消除那些引发暴力的根源。”
在竞选活动之前，基罗斯于2023年被她所在的世达律师事务所解雇，原因是她发表了一封公开信，批评包括自己所在律所在内的多家律师事务所呼吁针对大学校园里的反犹太主义采取行动。

Melat Kiros becomes 28th far-left candidate to win a Democratic primary this year as socialists amass power
Kiros, backed by far-left groups, could help form a 43-member progressive bloc by January 2027
July 1, 2026 11:25am EDT / Fox News
Following a primary victory where Democratic socialist Melat Kiros unseated longtime establishment Rep. Diana DeGette in Denver, political analyst Tom Del Beccaro weighed in on the expanding progressive insurgency that is aggressively targeting moderate Dems nationwide.
Melat Kiros has become the 28th candidate endorsed by a far-left group to win a Democratic primary election this cycle, according to a Fox News review.
The 29-year-old Democratic socialist is now in the same company as Graham Platner, the scandal-plagued Democratic Senate nominee in Maine, as well as the trio of Zohran Mamdani-backed House nominees — Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and Darializa Avila Chevalier.
Kiros ran for Colorado’s 1st congressional district and was supported by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the Working Families Party (WFP) and the Justice Democrats.
DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS SEIZE THE MOMENT WITH EXTREME, ANTI-AMERICAN VIEWS THAT BADLY TARNISH THE PARTY

Although not all 25 far-left House candidates who won Democratic primaries this year are guaranteed to win their general election bids in November, many of them, including Kiros, are in solidly blue districts where Republican challengers have little chance of being successful.
If all the far-left House candidates tracked by Fox News were to win, they’d join another 18 like-minded colleagues, including Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.
In the best case scenario for the far left, they’d have a 43-member bloc in the House of Representatives come January 2027.

Seeing as there are just 10 Blue Dog Democrats, a left-wing sweep would substantially tip the balance of power in the Democratic Party, which is favored to retake the House majority next year.

The Blue Dog Caucus is a coalition of House Democrats who describe themselves as fiscally responsible and focused on bipartisan dealmaking. They also support a strong national defense.
With her victory on Tuesday, Kiros also became the sixth insurgent candidate this year to oust an incumbent.

Kiros defeated Rep. Diana DeGette, who served 15 terms in Congress, by a nearly 10-point margin, according to The Associated Press. DeGette was sworn into the House in January 1997, four months before Kiros was born.
DeGette supported abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and implementing Medicare-for-All, two key priorities of her opponent and leftists at large.

Largely aligned on domestic policy priorities, Kiros and DeGette diverged on the issue of Israel.
DeGette is a strong supporter of the Jewish nation and has also advocated for a two-state solution. Kiros took a harsher stance, accusing Israel of committing a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Kiros, who supports a full U.S. arms embargo on Israel, criticized DeGette for backing continued U.S. military aid to the country, including funding for defensive systems like the Iron Dome.
Kiros’s other foreign policy ideas have drawn significant criticism, including her view that the U.S. shares culpability in the horrific 9/11 terror attacks.

9News journalist Kyle Clark asked Kiros in a June 22 interview whether she believed 9/11 was an “inevitable consequence” of American intervention.

“Inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lot of the Middle East, which led people to believe that another act of violence was the only response. And again, just like I said before, our responsibility is to get rid of those conditions that lead to violence in the first place,” Kiros said.
Before her campaign, Kiros was fired from her position at the Sidley Austin law firm in 2023 after publishing an open letter criticizing law firms, including her own, that called for action against antisemitism on college campuses.
